Via a letter posted on Twitter by the official "Sense8" account, creator Lana Wachowski announced that Netflix had agreed to greenlight a new two-hour special that will wrap up the "Sense8" story in 2018.

This is huge news, given the storylines left unresolved— until today, it seemed likely that current fans as well as future Netflix subscribers who might discover the show would be left with an unsatisfying cliffhanger as the final moments of "Sense8."

It's something Wachowski fully attributes to the power of the show's fandom. "By myself, there was nothing I could do," Wachowski writes in the letter. "But just as the characters in our show discover that they are not alone, I too have learned that I am not just a me. I am also a we."

Wachowski did note that Netflix was amongst the show's fans ("believe me, they love the show as much as we do, but the numbers have always been challenging") — and the fact that the streaming giant was able to reverse its decision on this is a testament to that fact. So read Wachowski's full letter below, and look forward to 2018 to find out what happened to Wolfgang, if Riley and Will will work out, and if they'll have time to squeeze in one last orgy.
